Ingredients
- 500 g watermelon (cut into cubes)
- 300 g fresh seasonal berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
- 100 g Charalambides Christis Feta (crumbled)
- ½ bunch fresh mint leaves (finely chopped)
- Zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon
- 100 ml pomegranate juice
- ½ cup roasted pistachios (roughly chopped)
Instructions
- In a large serving bowl, gently combine the watermelon cubes and fresh berries, taking care not to crush the fruit.
- Sprinkle in the dried cranberries and chopped mint, mixing lightly to spread them throughout.
- Drizzle with the pomegranate juice and scatter the citrus zests over the top for a fragrant, zesty finish.
- Add the crumbled feta and chopped pistachios. Gently toss once more, just enough to combine without breaking up the fruit or cheese.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to chill before serving.
Tip: Pair this vibrant salad with a chilled white wine or sparkling rosé—ideal for summer gatherings, outdoor meals, or picnics.
